MANAGING YOUR TRADEMARK PORTFOLIO AND ADVICE
Once your mark has been registered through Knijff, we will be there for you if ever you need advice or a sparring partner. Did you know for instance that a registered mark must be used correctly to maintain the rights to the mark? Or when and how to use the ® and TM symbols? It’s good to have someone around who has this knowledge and can help you by reviewing your promotional materials.
It is also important to remember that the scope of protection of a registered trademark is never static. For instance, consistent use of a mark will boost its reputation. And that, in turn, boosts the protection scope. On the other hand, if a registered trademark is used incorrectly, this will reduce the scope of protection. A mark may even become a generic indication. If that happens, the trademark right is lost. In order to prevent this from happening you must advertise your trademark correctly and take action against generic use of your mark by any other party, like an auction. Not an easy job, surely, but you can rely on us to help you.
